"I will not approve!"

"Let's put these aside for now, Mother-in-law... I haven't said a word to Chisa today."

When his mother-in-law wanted to drink, Miyazawa Yu sat quietly beside her without any intention of stopping her.

Forcibly taking away a dejected person's beer and forcing them to drink chicken soup is just as bad as telling a starving person that overeating is bad for their health.

"Who said that? I wasn't with Chisa..."

“A harsh correction does not count as communication. Chisa is my mother-in-law’s daughter, not an employee. Please treat her more gently.”

Upon hearing this, Miyazawa Yu shook his head seriously. In fact, not only Chisa, but even Nanaka hadn't absorbed any emotions from her mother. On the contrary, he, the villain who kept causing trouble, was able to have a sustained high-intensity interaction with his mother-in-law!

That's not right! Perhaps Sayaka has her own way of showing maternal love, but Chisa and Nanaka would definitely prefer to be asked how they are feeling and what they dreamed about last night!

Such negative comments include: "You haven't made any progress!" and "That's completely wrong!"

"Chisa must really want her mother-in-law to ask her if she enjoyed diving, right? After all, she even brought her underwater camera with her."

"Crack, click..."

There was no response. The sound of the crispy chicken nuggets being torn apart in her mouth continued to echo in the room. Despite not having a big appetite, Sayako Kotekawa stuffed the entire plate for two into her mouth.

"I'm finished eating. Please take the rest of the beer with you."

The sounds were muffled by food scraps and could not be heard clearly. Instead of pressing his advantage, Miyazawa Yu nodded slightly and cleaned up the table and bottles.

Chisa inherited her mother's intelligence, so correspondingly, her mother-in-law just needs time to process things.

Just before he opened the door and walked out, he heard a muffled voice behind him.

"Don't bully Nanaka, she's my most precious treasure. Also, the film crew needs you, you did a good job..."

"Understood, Mother-in-law."

Chapter 299 Sayawa Wants to Be Close to Her Daughter!

"Yes, I understand the logic. Chisa means that she can't appear on camera today because of her disfigurement, right?"

The next day, Dolphin looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him, who was wearing sunglasses and a mask and was even more covered up than Aunt Sayawa.

Miyazawa Yu circled the other person twice, his eyes full of confusion and bewilderment—to be honest, if he hadn't made a sound, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this person was Chisa at all!

And he wasn't even wearing his favorite super short shorts, which looks very suspicious no matter how you look at it!

"Is there a problem?"

The voice was muffled under the mask. As the figure in front of her kept moving, Furudegawa Chisa became increasingly irritable, and the veins on her forehead bulged and quickly covered her entire forehead!

Is this guy watching a monkey show?! I've already said it's inconvenient, does he expect me to force myself to take customers?!

"Ah~ it's nothing. In that case, Chisa-chan's seat will be given to Iori... What about Iori later?"

"Well... if you're talking about that jerk, he probably won't be able to appear on camera today either."

"Ugh?"

Seeing Chisa tremble, and then slowly move her eyes behind her sunglasses to the side, Miyazawa Yu's eyes sharpened, as if he had missed a lot of things.

However, the most urgent thing is to find Iori first. Even if he can't appear on screen, he's still a good helper.

The next second, footsteps and a familiar, half-dead voice came from behind him.

"Yu, you were looking for me?"

"Iori, where did you run off to? Waaah! What happened? Who did this?!"

"Don't mention it again, or I'll kill you..."

Walking into the store with bloodstains and handprints on her face, Kitahara Iori, seeing Yu's overreaction, shed two tears and uttered harsh words, her face showing a small expression of unbearable memories.

In short, just as Chisa said, with his appearance, let alone going out to entertain guests, he could scare two timid people to death just by showing his face!

In contrast, Kohei looked quite well, and the straight-line distance between him and Aina had shortened considerably, making them look particularly...like a married couple?

"Oh! Everyone's here! Good morning!"

"Good morning……"

"Ah, your mental states seem rather bizarre in some ways!"

Running out of the store, Kujo Maki, a truly energetic and somewhat foolish college student, was full of vitality and began the final inventory check before opening the store early.

However, when she saw the strangely shaped Pab group in front of her, the question still arose in her mind: "Are these guys here to cause trouble?"

"Let's start with a pep talk! Today's topic is—"

However, even if the employees' quality was poor, there was no room for complaint. She immediately pulled out the small blackboard again, took a ballpoint pen, and wrote today's theme in front of everyone—

[Congratulations!! Dolphin was interviewed by a TV station today!☆]

"Preparing for TV interviews! I believe everyone has already received the notification, right?"

"Yeah, Yu did send it last night, but is it really true that the TV station is willing to come and interview us?"

With his arms crossed, Kohei Imamura was wide awake at the mention of this topic. Last night around 10 p.m., that guy Yu sent a text message to the rental company out of the blue.

The notice stated that a local TV station would be coming to interview me. Although I'm not obsessed with being on camera, being filmed on TV would be really exciting!

"That's right! It seems our store is getting a lot of attention! It's also a great opportunity to create wonderful memories!"

Yoshihara Aina clenched her fists and trembled slightly with excitement in front of her chest, expressing her deep agreement. Previously, most of her youthful photos were of O-type bodies and alcohol.

But things are different now. Even if Yu and Kohei let loose in front of the camera, they wouldn't drink alcohol and practice baseball, right? Isn't this a golden opportunity?

"Huh? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"Ugh?"

"Then why are you interviewing us?"

With a lollipop in her mouth, and seeing the expressions on Kohei and Aizumi's faces, the store manager, Sayaka Kotegawa, sighed and revealed the cruel truth—"Of course, I used my connections to get them to come over and help us promote our business..."

"Oh……"

"You have a great business sense!"

"Therefore, we need to divide everyone into two groups, one responsible for odd jobs and the other for receiving the TV station!"

Sitting down at the table and crossing her legs, Kotekawa Sayaka raised her arm and, using the folder as a cover, immediately looked at her second daughter from an angle where no one could see her.

Their eyes met, and to her surprise, amidst the excited discussion, Chisa's eyes seemed to be glued to her as well.

Just as she was about to say something like "useless" or "drops the ball at crucial moments," she keenly caught what Chisa was doing. The next second, she scurried away like a startled rabbit and joined Yu's discussion.

"..."

With a slightly disappointed expression, she recalled the drunken Furude Kawawa Sayaka last night, closed her eyes, hesitated for two seconds, and looked at her trusted supervisor.

"As for the group assignments, even if you like to report to Yu, I still have to hand them over to the supervisor! Is that alright, supervisor?"

"Okay, I understand."

"Sigh~ I actually subconsciously reported it to Yu. Adaptability is a terrifying thing!"

Belatedly realizing that they weren't in Grand Blue, Kotegawa Chisa and Kitahara Iori found out that reporting to Yu was pointless, so they went back to the dark-skinned head waitress.

Taking advantage of the moment when the two guys left, Miyazawa Yu smiled and took two steps back, bumping into a soft embrace.

"What's wrong with these two bickering lovers again? Qian Sha isn't disfigured, is she?"

"Well, it seems there's a small injury on my lip."

With a slight twitch of her lips, Nanaka Kotegawa, as the older sister, naturally reached out and frantically patted the head of the young man throwing himself at her while vaguely continuing to explain.

"Iori and Chisa cleaned the locker room before they left work, and this is what happened when they reappeared. Chisa's face was very red!"

"Is that so?"

Key Clue Found—The Locker Room!

Like playing a detective game, Miyazawa Yu obtained crucial evidence from the villain Nanaka by selling her face and body!

Seeing that the head waitress was still dividing the group, he quietly moved to the changing room, pulled back the curtain, and looked around. He found that there was no sign of it being cleaned at all, while in the first changing room...

Pick up the two smooth silicone pieces from the ground. Judging from the shoe prints on them, it seems there was an accident here, and the culprit is obviously the fake breasts right now!

"Foreman... Foreman! (Very quietly)"

Meanwhile, on the other side, it wasn't just Miyazawa Yu who was taking action; Kotegawa Sayaka also had her own ulterior motives.

Two soft calls went unanswered, so she got up, walked behind her supervisor, and tugged at her sleeve. "Ahem! Supervisor! (whispering)"

"Hmm? What's wrong, Manager Saya?"

This time there was finally a reaction. The black-skinned supervisor was tugged at the hem of her clothes and heard an unfamiliar voice. She turned around in confusion, but the person who came into view startled her so much that she couldn't even use polite language.

Honestly, this was the first time she had ever heard the store manager speak in this voice. The contrast was so stark, it was terrifying, just like the Smiling Mask from yesterday!

Especially that awkward face-pinching gesture—it's not like a cool and capable store manager would do that!

"Um... is there anything I can help you with?"

Fortunately, her professional training allowed her to maintain a poker face. Seeing that the supervisor seemed normal, Koteikawa Sayaka finally revealed her true feelings—"Don't put me in the reception team, I want to go to the odd jobs team..."

"well……?"

Even with professional training, the head waitress still expressed her unease.

I know my demands are a bit excessive. As the store manager, how can I back down when it's such a tough time right after opening?

But Sayako Kotegawa wanted to have a proper talk with Chisa rather than open a shop, at least to check on her health and see if she was feeling unwell, fulfilling her responsibility as a mother!

"Please, the reception work is all yours. I'll give you a raise after we open!"

"Huh???! No, no problem!"

Before she could say anything, the store manager suddenly revealed that he had given away all his flashy gifts, leaving the head waitress wide-eyed and completely stunned!

However, since she could get a raise, she naturally didn't care what the store manager was thinking and readily agreed!

Having achieved the result she wanted, Saya Kotekawa breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to a dark corner to organize her thoughts, completely unaware that her supervisor had quietly pushed the work schedule on the table into the shadows twice.

In fact, according to the supervisor's plan, the store manager should have been in the miscellaneous tasks group anyway, since the cold-faced female boss is really not good for store promotion or anything like that...

"Everyone! The group assignments are out. Oh, Yu, where were you just now?"

"It's nothing, I just found something interesting..."

Chapter 300 Chisa's Citrus-Scented Lip Balm~

The final group assignments are in! The gentle and charming reception team consists of three experienced staff members familiar with the procedures, along with Nanaka Kotegawa!

And a motley crew of odd jobs, each with their own ulterior motives, including corpse-masking beasts, muscle men, and big-faced clowns.

"Huh? Auntie's actually in our group?"

Looking at Sayako Kotekawa standing beside him, Iori Kitahara glanced at her sideways for a long time before finally asking the question that was on the minds of the odd-job team.

"Manager, is it really okay for us not to show up for the opening?"

"Yeah, no problem!"

Without even turning his head, Saya Furudewa succinctly muttered a couple of words, as if responding to his good-for-nothing nephew.

Speaking of which, those injuries on the latter's face must have been scratched by Chisa, right? Seriously, with that kind of personality, she wants to be a diver. She'd have a hard time even doing something in the service industry!

……wrong!

"Snapped!"

Saya Kotekawa slapped herself hard across the face, forcibly suppressing her nitpicking impulse, and turned her sharp gaze to Chisa and Nanaka standing in front of her—

To be a likable parent, you shouldn't suppress your child. As for Iori's injury, just ask him tonight; don't unjustifiably suspect your own daughter!

"???"

His eyes shrank to the size of sesame seeds as he watched helplessly as his aunt suddenly attacked him. Kitahara Iori's cold sweat instantly ran from his head all the way through his body, only being absorbed when it touched his panties.

This... this isn't right, is it? Could it be that Yu is still suffering from the aftereffects of his close-range attack yesterday? Otherwise, there's really no way to explain his action of firing at me like this.

Then, following Auntie's gaze...

When I noticed his gaze was fixed on Chisa, his expression instantly filled me with horror—could it be that since he couldn't bring himself to harm Yu, his hatred had inadvertently shifted? How terrifying!

In short, judging from the rather unfriendly tone my aunt used towards Chisa and Nanaka yesterday, my guess might not be entirely unfounded!

"Alright, you three boys go to the equipment room and organize the water sports gear. Chisa, Nana, and I will stay at the front desk and keep an eye on things..."
